Panthers Wrocław have secured another victory in the AFLE - The League Europe. This time, the Wrocław team defeated the Firenze Red Lions 48-7 in an away game. With this win, the Panthers have solidified their position among the top teams in Europe. The next matchup will take place this Saturday, July 4th. The Panthers will face the Paris Lights at the Olympic Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 PM, and tickets are already available on the Eventim platform.
The Panthers flew to Italy with a clear goal: to continue their winning streak. From the opening minutes of the game, the Polish representatives dominated their opponents, fully controlling the pace of the competition across all four quarters.
A key element of the Wrocław team's success was their highly effective offense - particularly the running game, which allowed the team to rack up nearly 300 yards and control the game clock. This proved crucial given the scorching temperatures. Dawid Brzozowski scored two touchdowns for the team, while Kamil Kotlarz, Jameson Wang, Mike Harley Jr., Bartosz Woch, and Kacper Jaszewski each added one.
The match ended in a decisive triumph for the Wrocław squad, who won by a massive 41-point margin. This marks the third consecutive victory for Panthers Wrocław, and their fourth overall this season.
„Before the match, we knew that the only team that could take this victory away from us was ourselves. That’s why we spent the whole week reminding the players to stay completely focused and execute the coaches' game plan. The final score shows that the entire team delivered perfectly - the defense kept their offenses far away from our end zone, while we steadily extended our lead on offense. Our form is growing game by game, and I hope it carries us to the next final. Huge thanks to the front office staff for organizing the entire trip - taking such a large group of people on a major trip like this is no easy task, and they once again allowed us to focus entirely on the game because we knew they had taken care of the rest.” - comments Rafał Rogaczewski, Panthers Wrocław Offensive Lineman
„Looking at the score alone, someone might think it was smooth sailing, but the truth is, it was a very tough game. Mostly because of the weather. Sure, the recent heatwaves back home hardened us a bit, but the game pace in this kind of heat tests everything - you can't fully simulate that in practice. I have to give massive credit to the Panthers' staff and physios. They did a monumental job on the sideline. They were running around, keeping us cool, and taking care of every single detail. Without their help, we physically wouldn't have pulled it off in such style.” - adds Bartosz Woch, Panthers Wrocław Running Back
